really you should load a sound and set it as a number:

LOAD SOUND "cry.wav",1

monstersound1# = 1

PLAY SOUND monstersound1#

or better still, skip the variable bit and just remember numbers:

LOAD SOUND "cry.wav",1

PLAY SOUND 1

I should have changed my signature when asked

Your way is not very reliable. First of all, you are storing the sound number in a float variable. Load sound uses string,integer parameters. So using a float variable could result in errors/crashes. (1.000 in a float variable could be stored as 0.9999)

@Oneka production
Just grab a piece of paper and write down the numbers and their description. That's easier (you dont have to remember the variable-names) and if you want to load new media you can see which numbers are free.

Emperor Baal is correct, also aim to use as few variables as possible and if you do use variables, make them as short as possible.
